The Celestial Empire of Phello is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by God Emperor with an iron fist, and renowned for its otherworldly petting zoo, avowedly heterosexual populace, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 1.568 billion Phelloans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Education, Administration, and Industry are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Imperial Centre. The average income tax rate is 80.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Phelloan economy, worth 304 trillion Denarii a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Tourism. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 194,260 Denarii, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Suppression of pro-democracy protests is a daily occurrence, there's more vermin than ever on the metro, former slave-owners hope there are no hard feelings when they apply for jobs from their erstwhile charges, and in life full of care there is no time to stop and stare. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Phello's national animal is the Chimaera, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Imperial Cult.

Phello is ranked 11,158^th in the world and 95^th in 10000 Islands for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 5,789.42 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
